Three charged particles are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. Each particle is either an electron or a proton. The locations (in polar form) and names of the particles are shown in the table. Symbol of charge Q Distance from origin a Standard angle (degrees) 0 120 240 Q2 Q3 a a (a) Determine all possible values for the net electric field at the origin in terms of a, e, and ke. Organize your results neatly, showing which configurations are associated with which net fields. Try to simplify your answers as much as you can. (b) For each configuration in part (a), determine the net electric potential at the origin in terms of a, e, and ke (using the standard reference potential). (c) For each configuration in part (a), determine the electric potential energy in terms of a, e, and ke. Organize your results neatly, showing which configurations are associated with which net fields. Try to simplify your answers as much as you can.
